Stephan Keane

_{He didn’t want to be afraid anymore. Life was hard in district nine, especially when ones around you don’t care. Working in a soap factory around poisonous detergents had helped Stephan in no way whatsoever. In fact, it only left him gasping for breath and wishing he was living with a family. Sighing, the seventeen-year-old male walked out of the factory, removing his mask. Coughing, he threw the hopeless piece of cloth on the ground, the stale taste of the detergents stuck on his tongue. Compared to the air inside the hell hole of the factory, the air was like a vacation on a tropical island – clean, fresh and wonderful.

Glancing towards the nearby lake, Stephan sighed. I really need to wash my hands, he thought with disgust, noticing the white bleach burning his hands red. Sucking in a sharp breath, he shook his wrist with natural reflex, looking for any kind of relief to the pain. When none came, he began walking quicker and quicker towards the stream of water. Throwing himself to the ground in front of the stream, he dived his hand in the icy liquid, watching the white of the bleach create swirls in the crystal water. Sighing out of relief, he pulled the hand out of the water, drying it with his worn out shorts.

Staring into the water below him, he saw what he was – a mess. His surrogate mother from years ago told him that he would be in the capitol is people were placed on how they were on the inside. I want to go home, he thought, a frown appearing on his face. There was no home for him, though, besides the orphanage.}

Destiny Queens

Dry those tears from your eyes
and everything will be alright.
You know the rainbow's just inside
Dust your wings off as you rise.
If your heart feels overwhelmed
Just know your never by yourself
Put your hand in mine,
hold your head up high,
and together we will rise.

Today was one of the slowest days of my life. My parents wanted me to do some errands, and try and find my first job. I'm not really dirty poor, but I'm not swimming on money. We can afford more stuff then the average family in District 9, and I have always been grateful for that. Roaming the streets of the district, I looked around for any "wanted" signs in any of the stores, but had no luck. I let out a depressing sigh, and continued with the errands my parents intended me to do. My parents wanted me to do get some bread for tonight's meal, but of course, the bakery was closed. My mouth let out a groan of annoyance, and I couldn't plan out what to do next. I dragged myself to a bench in the middle of the square, and a pout crossed my face.

[/size]I guess I have to break the truth to my parents, and tell them I can't get anything they requested.[/i][/color] My parents aren't the ones to get mad that easily, but they will be upset with me. I was about ready to make my long journey back to our little house, but then corruption started to ring through my ears.

I glanced to my side, and the workers at the Soap factory were being dismissed for today's work. They all looked the same in those uniforms, but one of them stood out to me.A young male, around my age, had burning red hands. My hands felt like they were in pain just looking at them. He was glaring at the lake now that far away, and he started to pace for it. My mother always taught me that water will soothe the pain, but not cure it. My parents always used some sort of mixture of water and herbs, and made this fantastic ointment, that could heal and soothe the skin of any burn. We most likely had the items to make it again, and I always liked to help out anyone, especially hard workers in the factories. I slowly walked into the direction the male teen went, and I saw him soaking his hands in the water. I easily heard a sigh of relief come from his lips, and it put goosebumps through my body. He had such a low, natural voice. The view from the back wasn't very interesting, but I noticed some very short hair, and pale skin. He looked like the nice type, but I couldn't jump to conclusions, because most people around here are nut jobs. I approached him in caution, and started to speak. "Would you like something for that burn on your hands?"[/blockquote]

Stephan Keane

_{Feeling the heat start to come back, he drew in a sharp breath at the same time he heard the already soothing voice of a young female behind him. Turning his head sharply, he looked at her with bloodshot eyes from the factory fumes, and tears from the stinging dripping down his face. Would you like something for that burn on your hands? Those were the exact words of the brunette, and hesitantly he nodded. "If you wouldn't mind," he answered, accepting her kind offer. Before he went any further though, he wanted to introduce himself. "I'm Stephan Keane, or Steph to most," he murmured, looking at his beat red, pulsing hand. "What are you going to do that could fix it?" he asked with curiousity, tilting his head slightly.}

Dry those tears from your eyes
and everything will be alright.
You know the rainbow's just inside
Dust your wings off as you rise.
If your heart feels overwhelmed
Just know your never by yourself
Put your hand in mine,
hold your head up high,
and together we will rise.

He looked like such a sweet boy. He had the face anyone could love. He had a nice light tone of pale skin, and the red hands stuck out like sore thumbs. His lips started to move, and I easily expected what he was going to say.

[/size] If you wouldn't mind, I'm Stephan Keane, or Steph to most. His name was so nice and original. He seemed like a very nice boy also. I wanted to try my best to help him with anything he needed help with. I was prepared to start talking, introducing myself and such, but he started again. "What are you going to do that could fix it?" My family was known to help any ill people around District 9, since we can afford most supplies a lot of people can't. If I brought up my name, he MUST know me from somewhere. I went back to the thought of what I was going to do with the burn, if even my parents had the right herbs and spices to make the special lotion. I smiled at the boy, and came up with a response. "Well, My parents have a special concoction of a bunch of herbs and plants that are really healthy for the skin."[/color] I paused for a moment, then went back to talking. "I am Destiny Queens, by the way." I gestured the boy to walk over to me, and then I can make the long trip back to the house. My parents will be so "happy" that I will bring someone in need of help instead of the things they wanted, but they will just have to deal with it, I guess.[/size][/blockquote]
